Looking for weather on your Garmin GPSMAP 276c Portable Chartplotter you'll need the XM WX Satellite Weather package.

Now you can receive comprehensive graphical weather displays 24x7 in your plane, boat, vehicle or any fixed location in the continental U.S. and 100 miles into U.S. Coastal waters. Multiple weather conditions similar to those shown over the internet or on TV weather reports can be shown in near real-time on laptops, chartplotters, electronic flight bags, PDAs or other display devices. XM WX gives you the ability to view weather across the U.S. at a glance, as well as the flexibility to zero in on any specific location you need – all you do is identify the area you want and zoom into it.

* Precipitation Type (at surface)
* Wind
* Visibility
* Sea Conditions
* Severe Weather Storm Tracks and
* Satellite Mosaic and more

Hopefully we'll get our hands on one of these GPS units soon over at GPSLodge.com and put the XM WX Satellite Weather package through it's paces.
